Now, you may be wondering why this isn’t a post about beignets or Hurricane cocktails. Well, frankly, I am too. Ah, now I remember. We wanted to share a festive Mardi Gras themed Free Printable Fry Box AND Recipe!
While I have never been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, I have been there a couple of times and I am just counting the days until I can go back! The atmosphere, the people, the food… well here I am now drooling at my keyboard. So if you ever have the chance, go and see if for yourself.
Looks good enough to eat, right? The heat from the cajun spice in this recipe will transport you to the Big Easy and put you in the mood to wear (or give?) some colorful beads.
